Bigg Boss 19, Gaurav Taneja, Niyati Fatnani, Salman Khan
Bigg Boss 19 has been one of the most talked about shows. Everyone has been eagerly waiting for it to begin. The show was reportedly not happening this year due to issues between the channel and the production but now, everything is sorted. The preparations have begun. Season 19 is reportedly starting from August 29 or 30. This will be the longest running season and will end in January 2026. However, Salman Khan will be the host only for the first three season and will directly come for the finale. In between, we might see Anil Kapoor, Farah Khan or Karan Johar taking over. However, nothing has been confirmed yet about the show's dates. The new logo of the show was revealed recently and it is a multi-coloured eye. It is very different from previous seasons.
The caption along with the logo read, “Countdown hogaya hai shuru, hoga chaos unlock soon! Stay tuned.” The makers have approached many popular stars like Rati Pandey, Hunar Hali, Apoorva Mukhija, Faisal Shaikh aka Mr Faisu, Dhanashree Verma, Sreeram Chandra, Meera Deosthale, Mamta Kulkarni, Tanushree Dutta, Shraddha Arya, Dheeraj Dhoopar and others.
It was also reported that Gaurav Taneja aka Flying Beast was approached for the show. He has now reacted to the news. He spoke about these stories in his vlogs and said that the show might be using his name to create hype but he will not say anything negative as someday, he might get desperate like Ranvir Shorey and does the show.
He further clarified that he is not doing Salman Khan's Bigg Boss 19. He said, "Arey bhai, I am not going to Bigg Boss 19. Main Pareshaan hogaya hu (I am fed up). Some random PR page put up my photo along with a few others, claiming we are taking part in the upcoming season. That’s not true."
He also said that he was approached for the show many times before. He was offered the show before COVID-19 and also when he did the couples' reality show. He has had meetings with the makers for the last five years but had to turn down the offer due to his packed schedule. He also said that he does not want to be a part of the show where editing is not in his hands and he cannot risk his image.
He said that he will never say never as someday, he might have to do the show. He might be forced to be part of it if he has no source of income left. Apart from him, Khatron Ke Khiladi 14 star Niyati Fatnani is also reportedly approached. She spoke about it in an interview with an entertainment portal.
She said, "Yes, I get approached every year. But one thing I’ve learned is never to say never. You never know when the right opportunity will come and make you want to say yes." This is a big story in entertainment news and TV news.
Recently, it was revealed that the theme of season 19 will be highly influenced by AI. We will reportedly have two unique contestants like UAE-based robot named Habubu and India’s first AI influencer, Kavya Mehra.
